I've been working on building up a new FLWM unit for awhile now and am looking to get some feedback from people who are more knowledgeable than myself when it comes to the FLWM and Battletech in general.
I'm really looking for feedback on unit selections and the formation as a whole. Obviously I want this to be an effective fighting force, but I also really want to capture the "feel" of running a FLWM unit. I am open to suggestions and criticisms on every aspect of this list and welcome all of it. If you guys have any ideas for different units or lance compositions please feel free to let me know. If you'd like to me elaborate on why I chose what I did, or would like me to explain my mindset behind making a particular choice or how I intend to use something I would also be more than happy to dive into the nitty gritty.
It's taken me quite awhile to shape this force and have scrapped it a few times to start over fresh. I finally got it to a place where I'm pretty happy with it and want to see what the community thinks.
So without further ado here it is!
